Amazing Vintage Electronics Store Sign In Brooklyn
I was early for an appointment at a Brooklyn college this afternoon to shoot some science labs, so I stopped for lunch in Park Slope. A Yelp search told me that Roma’s Pizza was decent (3/5 stars in my book), and as I was parking, I noticed this appliance store…
J&R TV (108 7th Ave btw. Union & President, Brooklyn – no relation to the better known J&R of Manhattan) has been in business for quite a while, and this sign is at least 50 years old, according to the employees.
For something so old, this sign is in fantastic condition. I love the bubble ads, the pastels coloring, the raised font…
Most of all, I love that most passerbys probably have no idea what a “phono” is.
